Having a reliable phone is something you can't take for granted.  We've been seeking the lowest priced unlimited plan for a few months now.  A little over a year ago, we decided to take the leap at get iPhones.  BIG mistake.  HUGE.  We didn't really know what we were ordering and I guess the iPhone 4S was on it's way out.  What does this mean? We have SO many issues with our phones.   There is absolutely no space on the phone for apps, photos or even to function.  At least 4-5 times a day, my phone will shut off unexpectedly.  Also, I have to constantly charge it, even if no apps are running or syncing.  To take a photo, I have to delete apps--not quite convenient when you're trying to capture a quick moment at t-ball practice!  Every night, we have to hookup our phones to the computer and upload everything and start from scratch. EVERY.NIGHT.

I don't know about you, but I LOVE awards season: the red carpet looks, sappy speeches and all.  The girls love to sit and watch the pre-shows with me, but they aren't quite old enough for the main event. This year, I think they're ready for the Kids' Choice Awards now that they have ventured away from their "baby TV shows", as they call them.  The official drink of the awards is Capri Sun Roaring Waters. These are a staple in our house since they are low in sugar and a switch up from plain water. At Walmart, you can pick up 30 pack team boxes right in the regular juice aisle--perfect for the warmer months coming up!

Although we do regulate their screen time quite a bit, they are allowed to be more lax on the weekends.  The 2015 Kids' Choice Awards air on Nickelodeon March 28th at 8:00 EST, we are prepared to watch the orange carpet and more--the girls love live performances!  I made the mistake of telling the twins about the show a bit early and now they have been talking about it non-stop--they can't believe I'm letting them stay up late!  Watch closely on Nick and you'll see funny commercials promoting the show with your favorite characters.

You can't have an awards show night without tasty snacks, so we tested out some JELL-O flavored popcorn balls that I've been eying on Pinterest.  They are SO easy to whip up and you can use any JELL-O flavor you want!  Gabby chose strawberry with chocolate chips--tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry!  I think Cookies + Cream would be a fun one to try...or even coconut! Possibilities are endless!  These will be the perfect snack to wash down with a Capri Sun Roaring Waters.

Strawberry Chip JELL-O Popcorn Balls
Here's what you need:
  • 4 Tablespoons of Butter
    • NOTE: I tried to sub coconut oil and it did NOT work
  • 10 oz. package of Jet Puffed Mini Marshmallows
  • Small box of sugar free strawberry JELL-O (0.3 oz)
  • 1 cup popcorn kernels (popped makes about 10-11 cups)
    • Sub 2 bags of unflavored microwave popcorn
  • Chocolate chips to sprinkle (about 1/2 cup)
  1. In a small saucepan, melt butter.  Slowly fold in marshmallows until melted.  Remove from heat.
  2. Sprinkle in JELL-O and stir.
  3. With popcorn in a large bowl, slowly pour marshmallow mixture over popcorn and stir.  Prepare to get sticky!!  Sprinkle in chips and mix together--some may melt a bit.
  4. Grab a handful and roll into a ball shape.
    • Tip: spray hands with cooking spray before forming balls. 
  5. Store in an airtight container.  Enjoy!

To keep the Kids' Choice Awards fun, I created a fun 2015 Kids Choice Awards scavenger hunt for the kids to do during the show.  At first I considered BINGO, but figured there would be some arguments to I kept the sheet the same.  There are Capri Sun Roaring Water breaks, also fun things to look for during the show: silly outfits, jokes, etc.  I found neon circle stickers for $1 at Walmart, perfect to use instead of BINGO markers!

Tip: the prizes can be super simple, like a sucker or even index cards with "10 Minutes Kindle Time" or "Library Trip with Mom".  No need to go crazy!  The fact that the kiddos get to stay up late is more than enough of a prize, right?

I would say that we are more than prepared for our fun night!  Another special treat that we love are FROZEN Capri Sun Roaring Waters.  Turns out just like a slushy.  Simply freeze for 2 hours or until barely frozen, then slice the edges off and leave in the straw.  Perfect on a hot summer day too!


Is your family excited for the Kids' Choice Awards? What fun ways do you enjoy Capri Sun Roaring Waters?

Fight Off the Flu with Bigelow Tea {Strawberry-Mint Iced Green Tea Recipe!} #AmericasTea

October 06, 2014

Disclosure: This shop has been compensated by #CollectiveBias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.

Bigelow Tea, #AmericasTea, Strawberry Green Tea, Lemon Ginger Tea


Here in Michigan the weather has been hot, then cold, then cool, then hot again.  I have to constantly look at my weather app to know how to dress the girls appropriately in the morning--and usually by the time we walk home, they are peeling off layers.  Ahh, the joys of living in the Midwest!  I'm ready for fall to come and stay, no snow yet please!

From all of this change, the first round of sniffles are looming over our house.  Right now I feel like a truck hit me: I have chills, no appetite and I'm exhausted.  Eeek!  To fight of this cold, I've been drinking tea like it's my job.  I love Bigelow Tea because it comes in a variety of tasty flavors and I can drink it hot or cold.  Green tea gives me a little kick of caffeine that I need, plus antioxidants (the mint variety is my favorite!) and the Lemon Ginger probiotic tea soothes my sore throat.  I like to prepare my tea hot and cold, depending on my temperature and about once an hour.  Local honey is a great addition to tea.. At farmer's markets, you can usually pick up honey sticks in different flavors which are perfect for adding to tea!

Did you know Bigelow Tea's Charleston tea garden is the largest in America?  They have been making tea since 1945, so I think they know a thing or two about creating flavorful, amazing tea.  I like to support American companies whenever I can! You can keep up with them on Facebook and Twitter.  If you happen to be in the Charleston area, you can tour the tea garden for a great taste of Southern tradition.  Someone I know even attended a wedding there!

Yesterday, got up bright and early to head over to Walmart to restock my tea collection (yes, I wore my yoga pants...I totally ignored Ricky's eye roll).  I am determined to kick this flu in the butt before it takes over my body! Staying hydrated is key!  I picked up my favorites: green mint and lemon ginger.  The Vanilla Chai k-cups are a huge hit in this house too, especially in the fall.

When you're under the weather, it's super important to stay hydrated--but sometimes hot tea doesn't sound appealing.  A pitcher of strawberry mint iced green tea can be made up in the morning and sipped on over ice all day long.  The mint adds a pop of flavor, the green tea has caffeine and antioxidants and the strawberries give you a boost of Vitamin C! Basically, it's a flu fighting formula!


Here's what you'll need:
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, cleaned
  • 1 tablespoon of honey, raw works best
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • Brewed Bigelow Mint Green Tea
  • 1-2 mint leaves per glass
    • Did you know you can awaken mint by clapping your hands around it? Just put it in your hand and clap!
  1. In a small saucepan, add strawberries, honey and water.  Over low heat, bring to a bubble for 10-15 minutes.  Add more honey to taste.  
  2. Allow to cool, then blend until the mixture is a puree.  I store this in a jar for my iced tea for the week!  
  •  For a glass: pour brewed green mint tea over ice.  Add 2 tablespoons of strawberry mixture and stir.  Add a mint.  If too bitter for your liking, add more honey and lemon
  • To make a pitcher: add 1/2 cup strawberry mixture with brewed Bigelow Mint Green Tea. Add more berries or honey to taste.  Lemon is nice to squeeze in there, too!

Probiotics are very important for keeping you healthy, inside to out--Bigelow Lemon Ginger this tea is a great way to stay healthy all through the season! When you're feeling under the weather, ginger keeps your stomach settled and the hot tea soothes your throat.

They were ready for a cool treat after playing at the Y!


This weekend I was a lucky gal! I got paid to go shopping for some Kraft items at Walmart.  When I saw this opportunity, I jumped on the chance because we fly through our boxes of Capri Sun in the summer. 

Usually in the morning, we head to the local YMCA and I make sure to pack snacks.  Most of my classes start at 10-10:30, so by 12:00 when I'm done the girls are ready for lunch!  To hold them over, they get a juice and another small snack.  With this hot weather, I throw a box of Capri Suns in the freezer and take them out before we leave.  By the time we are leaving the Y, they are cold treats to cool off the ladies after an hour or so of playing!

*Another tip: use the frozen Capri Suns for ice packs on a picnic!*

My girls don't drink much juice, so we prefer the Roaring Waters variety.  They also offer 100% juice flavors, which I really like.  For the girls it seems like a special treat and I know they aren't getting pumped up with too much sugar before naptime!

Click here for some coupons!
Before heading on my shopping trip, I checked out the Walmart site to print off some coupons!

Did you know that you can print coupons from the Walmart site?  They have some exclusive coupons that other sites don't have. 

I will admit, I was not a huge fan of our local Walmart.  They were very outdated and I could never find anything I needed.  When I pulled up, I was thinking "Oh great!" when I saw construction. 



While browsing, I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw and found.  The prices cannot be beat, that's for sure!  They had a lot of things I have could not find at other stores, like 4T play shorts...and for $3! 


Head on over to Walmart for play shorts and tanks...only $3-$3.88!  Totally not a budget breaker!

Once the construction is done, I will be sure to add Walmart to my shopping loop!

Found what I was looking for!


To check out more of my Walmart fun, visit my Google+ album.  My poor cashier was so confused as to why I was taking pictures.  I tried to be discreet, but she caught me! 

Are you a crazy couponer like me? Or have you thrown in the towel?
